A Stirling Engine celebrates 20,000 hours of uninterrupted operation on Earth Day
A Qnergy Stirling-Based Power Generator reached 20,000 hours (more than two continuous years) of uninterrupted, maintenance-free operation. About five times longer than conventional generators. The generator is installed in the IJ & Jeanné Wagner Jewish Community Center in Salt Lake City, Utah (JCC). It uses Qnergy’s proprietary Free-Piston Stirling technology. The same ...

Exergetical analysis and design optimisation of the Stirling engine
A detailed design optimisation study of an endo- and exoirreversible Stirling engine is carried out. After energetic, entropic and exergetic analyses of the hot-end and cold-end heat exchangers of the engine, an adapted model of the engine, including the heat exchangers and the regenerator, is proposed to optimise the distribution of the limited heat exchangers' total area. Power generation, ...

Solar-powered Stirling engines: a low-cost possibility for village power, pumping and cooling
Stirling engines are heat engines that operate on a closed thermodynamic regenerative cycle and are used as power systems, refrigerators or heat pumps. Recent developments in Stirling technology allow the use of low temperature heat sources including flat plate solar collectors. New concepts for low-cost, low ΔT Stirling engines that may be made by village craftsmen using locally available ...

No Place Is Too Far
The remote location of hydropower stations is often a great challenge when major repair work is necessary. The refurbishment of a large generator in the Scottish Highlands shows how Sulzer finds cost-effective service solutions even in places miles from nowhere. Much of the UK hydroelectric capacity was built during the 1950s. These installations have performed extremely well, especially ...
